The Miami Beach City Hall Annex designed by Perkins + Will is located in Beach, United States. Inspired by its unique tropical location, The Miami Beach City Hall Annex manipulates light and shadow to mimic the flow of the beach’s gentle tropical breeze. This is accomplished via a sophisticated surface of undulating metal blades that veils 7 levels of parking and public services. A sense of gentle motion is provided by the movement of sun over these blades throughout the course of the day, and a continuously changing choreography of artificial lighting that reflects off the blades at night. This same lyrical surface functions to provide shade and reflect daylight deep into the parking floor plates behind it. High-performance glazing, exterior sunshades and a canopy colonnade allow for careful day lighting of the project’s 35,000 SF of offices that line the west edge of the parking structure.
